I didn't get in to see the new 1080p Marantz VP-15S1 today. The wait was too long, but I'll have a better chance tomorrow. In the meantime, the projector is available either au natural or with an optional anamorphic lens. The PJ itself is half the price of Marantz' VP-11S1 flagship ($20,000), which remains in the line.

Check out the price for that optional lens in the following blog. On the upside, optical designs have been relatively stable for ages. And as long as it fits future applications, a great lens holds its value and will be a great lens for a lifetime.
